One of the holy grails of communications has just happened. Fring is on the iPhone. I just made my first Skype call on my iPhone (over WiFi). It sounded great. I am waiting for a Google Talk friend to come online to try that.

I also had a few drops. But this is beta and it will get better. Not much else to say. Oh, here's the link. Enjoy!

EDGE / GPRS not supported

I just tried to make a voice call over GPRS and it does NOT work. In stead I get a popup with the following message: "Voice call on Edge are not supported" It's a pity:(]

Its just a shame o2 will not allow you to use Voip on either their cell network or wi-fi hotspots.
